It depends on your database requirements.  If you don't need a
full-featured database server like postgresql, you could look into
something like sqlite as well (http://www.sqlite.org/).  I've never
personally used it, but It seems to have a fairly simple C API, and
it's fairly popular for these sorts of situations.
